Dog Bite LawsThousands of people require medical attention every year after being bitten or attacked by dogs. If you have been injured by a dog bite, you have rights. Contact an attorney to discuss the potential of obtaining compensation for your injuries. Proving Knowledge of a Dog's Vicious PropensitiesIn states that do not have dog bite statutes, an injured person usually must show that the owner knew or had reason to know that his or her animal was predisposed to bite or attack, known as having vicious or dangerous propensities, in order to recover damages from the owner or the owner's insurer. Defenses in Dog Bite CasesThere are three common defenses to dog bite injury claims: the plaintiff assumed the risk, the plaintiff's own negligence led to the injury or the plaintiff provoked the animal. The availability of these defenses may be limited by state statute or other laws in your area regarding dog bites.
